Ratings and reviews

I've had the system for about 6 weeks and the playback option rarely functions appropriately. I have to reboot each camera and the actual panel multiple times a day. Sometimes the playback will work but there is no sound. Other times it does not work at all amd has me restart/ reboot the whole system. I paid for the equipment outright and should have flawless services as I pay the service fees monthly. It is frustrating that it does not work as intended.

Your equipment that you can buy with the alarm is terrific but your app is terrible, buggy and really needs a complete overhaul. Disarming and arming the alarm works great for the most part. Viewing cameras is slow but ok (although it's a real shame that cameras aren't viewable on an Alexa). But rewinding DVR (a feature we pay extra for) to a specific time point is incredibly clunky and frustrating. It would be nice if you had an app for PC and Mac too so I could pull cameras up on my laptop.

App freezes frequently, automatically closes when trying to delete videos, or doesn't even open at all. Causinga message to appear on my phone stating: Vivint closed because this app has a bug. Try updating the app after its developer provides a fix for this error. I sent a screenshot of this to tech support and was told the app is fine. I was advised to uninstall and reinstall it. Which changed nothing. In addition, as mentioned by others, not all events are recorded as they're supposed to.
